Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic believes Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil is among the best in the planet.

Ozil made his 200th Arsenal appearance at St James' Park yesterday and crowned his achievement with what proved to be the winner in Arsenal's 2-1 victory.

“I've always been a big fan," Begovic told Sky Sports. “I just think he's a world-class player.

“A very unselfish player, a lot of assists, does a lot of good work for the team.

“So I think he's been a world-class player, a very good servant to Arsenal.

“Played obviously at Real Madrid, many games for Germany, won a lot of trophies. So I think he's just a world-class player.

“I think he has his strengths. Obviously he likes the attacking side of the game more.

“But like I said he's such a valuable asset to any team. I think any team would a player like him in their squad."
